Project Pillow

So, remember I told you about my Home Ec class over at the Freckled Nest? Well, I’m just loving it. I haven’t made every single project but I’ve made most of them.

This is by far my favorite.

{And I know that pesky thread is driving you crazy. Don’t you just want to reach through the computer and snip it? Yeah, me too.}

I used some Anna Marie Horner fabric that I had left over from last year. And then I used this technique (just scroll down) to make the felt flower. And now I want to make twenty more. Wouldn’t they be the perfect Christmas gift? I mean, I would love to have a pillow for Christmas. Wouldn’t you?

It took about an hour. What an amazing gift from an hours’ work.
There is something magical about creating. It’s our Father’s fingerprint on us.

And it goes just perfect in the queen chair. Which is still in the kitchen. (fingers crossed).
Oh and thank you for your lovely words about the kitchen. I’m so glad you like it too. I’ve been dying to show you.
Today’s project: laptop case! Score!

That is gorgeous, I can’t believe it only took you an hour! I really wish I’d signed up for the home ec thing myself. I’m looking forward to getting back into my sewing this month now the summer is fading.

That’s cute. Great job Edie. My large sectional has been in need of some new giant pillows for some time now, I can’t seem to find any I like. I’m going to just make some covers for the giant pillows I already have…it’s one of those things from my summer projects list that didn’t get done.

LOVE this pillow! Looks awesome Edie! I really really need to learn my sewing machine…..
My kids went to the Luthern church VBS last week (I posted about it) and loved it, we are trying service this Sunday there, I’ll keep you posted.
I also ordered The small Catechism and The Lutheran Prayer book and loving them both

Well that’s just the cutest little pillow I ever did see!
And I think it will be PERFECT sitting in that fabulous chair in your new beyond~fabulous kitchen!
I know you and your girls are going to have some great times in that kitchen!
You’re a doll Edie!
And I think all that you do with your girls…and home schooling is AMAZING!
Good for you!

beautiful edie! so funny b/c i found a bride’smaid dress (stop laughing) in my closet with this purge… funniest part is that is is from MY wedding. and i am about to snip it up and make cute little somethings (no idea yet) for xmas to mail to each of my bridesmaids.

this is my new technique for getting rid of whilest not actually getting rid of.

just lovely … I’m doing that class too and it’s been so fun. I definitely agree with you about creating – it’s a wonderful way to spend some time, using what God gave us and allowing our uniqueness to come through. This pillow definitely has your fingerprint and His on it. Well done!
